The Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, makes up an important commercial fishery along the East and Gulf coast of North America. Consumer demand has permitted the development of the oyster aquaculture industry. Specifically, about 70% of the total production of harvested oysters in Maine came from the Damariscotta River Estuary in 2010(DMR). Unfortunately, disease issues have become a major concern. One particular disease affecting the eastern oyster is known as MSX (multinucleated sphere unknown). MSX is caused by the protozoan parasite, Haplosporidium nelsoni, and has devastating effects on cultured and wild oysters, killing 90-95% of the oysters it infects. …

The ocean heat wave that broke all the records and triggered an early shedder season does not seem to have had a corresponding positive effect on lobster settlement.

This …

Signs of the Seasons (SOS) is an environmental monitoring and education program for Maine citizens of all ages. Participants contribute to scientists' understanding of the local effects of climate change by observing and recording phenology, the seasonal changes of common plants and animals, in their own backyards and communities. The University of Maine Cooperative Extension and Maine Sea Grant developed the program in 2010, and co-coordinate the program's volunteer services, research collaborations, and public outreach. In 2012, University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension and New Hampshire Sea Grant joined the effort, and have extended the program to volunteers and research …
